Progressive Switch

A switch that goes beyond the traditional, dominant roles in the BDSM community, but rather the sadistic role they play.

A person who can either be a soft, hard, or pleasure dom at any given time.

Person 1: "Don't worry, I can be kind. We don't have to be rough."

Person 2: "Oh..so you're a progressive switch lol."

Process drift

The gradual, often unconscious shift in a work process, system, or organizational behavior away from its original purpose—usually due to routine, habit, or the illusion of progress. Common in corporate, bureaucratic, or tech settings where the system just keeps running… because that’s what it does.

“Why are we still sending daily update emails no one reads?”
“No clue. Classic case of process drift

Progressive Posthumanism

A politically engaged branch that links posthumanist thought with progressive social movements—feminism, anti-racism, queer liberation, disability justice. Progressive posthumanism argues that the "human" of humanism has always been a narrow category: white, male, Western, able-bodied, heterosexual. Decentering that human is not a loss but a liberation—making room for all the humans who were never fully included. Progressive posthumanism is posthumanism for justice, for inclusion, for the expansion of who counts as human and what humanity can become.

Example: "She'd always felt excluded from the 'universal human' of philosophy—that category never seemed to include her, a woman of color with a disability. Progressive posthumanism explained why: the universal human was never universal. Decentering it wasn't a loss; it was an opening. She could now imagine humanity in her image, not the other way around."

Progressive Cyber-Nihilism

A variant that attempts to channel cyber-nihilist energy toward progressive social goals—racial justice, gender liberation, economic equality—while retaining the core commitment to technological acceleration and post-human transformation. Progressive cyber-nihilism might argue that the only way to achieve justice is to make the current system completely unworkable, and that technology is the most effective tool for this. It embraces the Wired as a space to destroy oppressive identities, as the original text notes: "There is no race, gender, or sexuality in the Wired." It also adopts the call to "phish, hack, and doxx" rapists and racists, to block ads and encrypt everything. The tension lies in its progressive goals: cyber-nihilism is ultimately indifferent to human betterment, while progressivism is defined by it. Progressive cyber-nihilism might be a transitional phase, using progressive rhetoric to recruit and motivate, while the underlying philosophy remains relentlessly anti-humanist.

Example: "The collective used cyber-nihilist tactics—doxxing fascists, disrupting corporate networks—but framed it as 'digital liberation.' When pressed, they admitted they didn't believe in liberation, only in destruction. Progressive cyber-nihilism was the mask; nihilism was the face. It worked for now."

Process Fossil

A workplace procedure that continues to exist long after technology made it unnecessary, usually defended with the phrase “because that’s how we’ve always done it.”

Often involves unnecessary steps like three paper copies, a signature, and filing paperwork that could have been a spreadsheet, email, or photo.

A process fossil survives purely because nobody in management has updated the system since the 1990s.

“Our office requires three paper copies, a signature, and a receipt attached just to verify a $60 purchase.”

“That’s not accounting… that’s a process fossil.”
